Chapter 114: Long Time No See

"Your Highness the Princess. On behalf of me and the Bavarian royal family, I would like to welcome you. "People can't help but admit cowardice under the eaves, and what is even more tragic is that Prince Ruprecht is still under the eaves of his house! The other party is a princess of the Austro-Pop-Hungarian Empire in terms of identity, and in terms of blood, she is Ruprecht's cousin.

"It is difficult for me to understand that you are still in the palace, and that the officers and men of the navy who taught the Japanese under your leadership are sought after and praised in Berlin, while you, who have contributed the most, are here alone and unknown." Princess Mary said with some teasing. There was a curiosity on his face, three points of puzzlement, and six points that Ruprecht could not see.

"It's just a false name, as the eldest grandson of Wang, it is a loss of identity to grab glory with low-level naval officers and soldiers, I have a chance, and it doesn't matter if I lose it, and those officers and soldiers may only have one chance in their lives to pass through the Brandenburg Gate in the cheers of the people." Ruprecht said this, but he didn't think so, Lao Tzu is millions of pounds per minute, how can he have time to care about these things?

"You're still so practical, actually like a merchant, not a nobleman!" Princess Mary shook her head helplessly and said. "Okay, I'm going to talk to His Royal Highness the Prince alone, you can step back first."

"Your Highness, I'm optimistic about you!" As he was leaving, Count Schelling made a gesture to Ruprecht that made him quite incomprehensible!

"Ruprecht, are you really the prophet who God brought to save the Wittelsbach and Habsburgs? You know, when I heard that you had won the Japanese fleet in the Far East, I couldn't believe my ears. I have to say that you are so capable that I suddenly found that everything I have done for years is like a joke in front of you. ”

"Your actions are a good illustration of the true meaning of this world, where money and the military are the ones who dominate everything, and everything else is nothing. The Habsburgs lacked these things, so they eventually declined, and not only did we lose Germany, but even the Hungarians dared to be on our footing. Princess Mary's words revealed a sense of melancholy.

"Cousin, I'm not here to listen to your opera, can I get down to business? Brother is very busy. Ruprecht said in his heart. Now that you've realized the importance of pragmatism, let's do something dry! ”

"However, I haven't done nothing during this time, do you remember the 100 marks that lent me at the beginning?" Princess Mary smiled slightly and said with some smugness. "Now he has increased his value to 2.5 million marks, but he just commissioned a few friends, and then with the help of some information you provided, he did some business with Qingguo."

"I'm rubbing! No wonder Schmidt mentioned in the telegram that he saw a lot of old goods from the Austro-Hungarian army on the battlefield! When relations between Britain and Germany were tense, the British did not supply German ships, but they did not limit Austria-Hungary! Then Austria-Hungary used this time to survive in large numbers! This NM is too ruthless! Am I sacrificing myself? "Ruprecht figured out a lot at once!

"Of course, this little money is nothing in front of you. You paid 200,000 marks just for admiring a beautiful young lady. As soon as Princess Mary changed her words, Ruprecht immediately felt the arrival of Ling Dong!

"I'm rubbing, we've got a traitor!" Ruprecht began to wonder who had spread the news from the meeting that had just taken place this morning! Baron Vittorio? No way, this guy hasn't left his sight except to go to the toilet! Count Schelling? This guy can't be so immature!

"Yo, that seems to be the case. Are Ukrainian canaries so attractive? Princess Mary's brows furrowed slightly, and the cold became heavier!

"As a price for their early delivery of our artillery, I have a slightly lower price. That's all. This is good for us, and if we can seize the artillery market for the German Navy, then the Habsburg royal family will benefit at least a few million marks a year! Ruprecht found that the more he explained, the darker it became, so he simply went straight in! Let's get down to business! Cousin! Let's not talk about what my brother hasn't done yet! Even if my brother does it, my dad doesn't necessarily care, you're worried about an eggplant!

"Well, to be serious, my father is a little worried about the combat effectiveness of the military now, especially the Imperial Defense Force as a field force. Intend to get an elite army, like your country's Blue Legion in the Far East. This corps needs instructors and training as a whole, and I would recommend hiring consultants from Bavaria. Princess Mary also knew that if she continued on the topic, she might go off, so she immediately turned back to the topic after a little ridicule.

"Awesome!" Ruprecht has to say that this cousin has done what she has always wanted to do but has not been able to do! What is the saying? The fortresses were breached from within! Cousin, this is self-sacrificing! What if the 1 million marks were given to my cousin?

If the First World War is compared to a group fight, Germany wants to change, it can't be strong alone, and its teammates can't be too bad, and in history, Austria-Hungary is almost the bottom of the big powers! With such a teammate, it was too difficult for the Germans to win!

Therefore, intervening in the internal construction of the Austro-Hungarian army as soon as possible is something that Ruprecht could not ask for, wanted to do but did not dare to do! If it had been proposed by the Bavarian side, not to mention what Austria-Hungary thought, the Kingdom of Prussia would have been wary! The Kaiser could tolerate the so-called independence of Bavaria, but when it comes to the cooperation between the two armies, and the Bavarian side takes the initiative, then things are not so easy to fool! There is no trivial matter in the military!

But it was not the same when it was proposed by Austria-Hungary. People and the Kaiser are equal, Bavaria is close to him, and he has a lot of practical experience, what's wrong with learning? It is impossible for the Kaiser to refute the face of the Austrian Emperor for such a trivial matter, right? You can't say, don't look for Bavaria, arrange two Prussian instructors for you! Ruprecht plans to mix on the Eastern Front in the future, so he naturally needs some help from his teammates! Besides, everyone has the same language, the same religion, and there is no obstacle to communication!

"No problem! This matter is left to me, and it will definitely satisfy His Majesty the Emperor. In terms of equipment, we will do our best. Ruprecht said respectfully.

"Hehe, cousin, you are not ambitious!" Princess Mary said meaningfully.

"If you don't change, you will die, and after you change, the worst result is just death! There is always something to be done when there is an opportunity, and to be honest, I think that the Austro-Hungarian army, with its sheer size but no corresponding combat effectiveness, has come to make some changes! Ruprecht said unabashedly.

"Okay, you are a master in the military, I don't worry if you do these things, but when it comes to economy, I think you need an assistant!" Her Royal Highness the princess snorted and said.
